Keeper leaves Maidstone
Goalkeeper Chris Lewington has left Maidstone United for Isthmian League side Cray Valley.
The experienced shot-stopper has been with the Stones since 2019 and had previously been on the books of Dagenham, Colchester, Margate and Welling. He made 25 appearances for the Stones.
Maidstone boss Hakan Hayrettin said: “Chris has been a good servant to this club and we wish him the very best at Cray Valley.
“He’s enjoyed a fantastic professional career and is at that stage of life where training three mornings a week wasn’t fitting in with his day job. His move to Cray Valley will give him the best of both worlds and he’s got a lot to offer that club as they strive to achieve their ambitions.”
Lewington, 33, told Cray’s website: “I’m really excited to sign and be part of the squad for next season.
“It sounds like a fantastic project that’s going on at the club. Obviously the aim is to get promoted and be challenging right at the top of the league, which will be fantastic. I’m really hoping we can do something special.”
Meanwhile, Tonbridge Angels captain Sonny Miles has committed for another season.
Central defender Miles is a longserving player at the club, clocking up over 400 appearances at Longmead. Manager Steve McKimm was obviously pleased to keep hold of his influential defender, saying: “It goes almost without saying that everyone at Tonbridge will be jumping for joy at this news. Sonny is and always has been a hugely important player for me and made the step up from Isthmian to National South football a couple of seasons ago seamlessly.
“His influence in the dressing room and on the pitch is vital to the success of this club.”
Popular keeper Jonny Henly - a former Scottish youth international has also agreed terms for 2021/22 along with defender Arthur Lee.
Midfielder Zak Guerfi and defender Tom Henfrey are both staying at the club having joined in the middle of last season. McKimm added: “Both are determined to move their footballing careers on in an upward trajectory with the Angels.”
